Set-Up InstructionsFollow these instructions to ensure a satisfactory set-up and operation of the lift.

• After set-up and inspection of the lift, please return this booklet to the literature package and give to lift owner/operator. Literature package should be kept attached to controls for easy access.

1. Unloading: Rotary’s Mobile Lift System units are shipped in the vertical position.

2. After unloading, remove and discard protective wrapping.

NOTE: Unit is shipped without batteries and without power unit fluid. Installation of both batteries and fluid MUST be completed prior to lift operation. Failure to do so will result in air entering the system. The unit will then have to be bled.

3. To move the column, remove protective banding and wheel clamps from wheel jack. The forklift brackets can be removed from the side of the column if desired.

4. Open power unit cover by removing the 3 M8 BHCS (Button Head Cap Screw). Fill power unit tank with ISOVG32 hydraulic oil. Tank capacity is approximately 11-1/2 quarts (11 liters). Fill until fluid is just barely visible on dipstick.

5. Install two batteries in location shown, Fig. 1. Through our research Rotary recommends Exide® brand battery part number NG-27 or DEKA® brand battery part number DC31DT. Different batteries meeting the below specifications may be used but performance can vary. Recommended Battery Specifications:12V DC Sealed Deep Cycle BatterySize 31 Frame Group105 AH Capacity (At 20 AH Rate)Stud Terminals with Stainless Steel Wing nuts

Battery wires are clearly marked/labeled inside the unit itself.

Install tie-down straps on batteries as shown.

Close lift and re-install M8 BHCS removed earlier.

After the batteries and fluid have been added, screw M20 bolt and M10 socket head bolts clockwise on wheel jack and front of superstructure to adjust unloaded column ground clearance, Fig. 1. Ground clearance is determined by how far the bolts are turned. When the column is loaded, it will automatically lower to the floor.

WARNING Permit only trained personnel to operate lift. After reviewing these instructions, become familiar with the lift controls by running the lift through a few cycles before loading a vehicle on lift. Observe and heed SAFETY and WARNING labels on the lift.

WARNING This motor has internal arcing or sparking parts. To minimize the Risk of Explosion, DO NOT expose to flammable vapors.

OPERATING CONDITIONS: Lift is not intended for outdoor use or storage and has an operating ambient temperature range of 41º-104ºF (5º-40ºC).

DO NOT use lift in a manner other than intended. Included (but not limited to) examples of unapproved uses of the lift are: lifting vehicle by only one side, lifting different axles with a column pair (lifting on the diagonal), and lifting non-approved items.

6. Bleed mobile columns:a.) Raise forks 150-200mm do not lift forks high enough to engage locks.b.) Loosen bleed screw to release air from system.c.) Close screw and repeat steps a and b until there is no air in the system and fluid runs clear.

Battery Charging1. Battery chargers can be plugged in nearly continuously or as needed. Life of the battery can be prolonged if the batteries are charged regularly (for example, after every use), and not allowed to be fully discharged.

IMPORTANT Do Not operate lift while batteries are charging.

2. The supplied battery charger is not intended for use with a gelled-electrolyte type battery. Please see the supplied battery charger manual for further details on the use of the battery charger.3. When batteries are not being charged, the front panel indicator can be used to determine the battery charge level. On the front panel, a yellow light indicates that the battery is partly discharged and should be recharged. A red light indicates that you are near the end of the battery capacity and may not have enough energy left to complete a fully loaded lift cycle; the batteries must be recharged. When the batteries are being charged, the lights on the battery charger will indicate whether the battery is being charged (yellow light) or has reached full charge (green light).4. Charge time will vary depending on the amount of energy that was discharged. A fully discharged battery will need to be recharged overnight to be fully restored. However, if a single lift is required, a short charge time (such as 15 minutes) should restore the batteries enough for a fully loaded lift cycle.5. Battery performance will vary depending on the brand of battery selected, the battery specifications, how well the batteries are maintained, and the age of the batteries.

Purpose

This procedure establishes the minimum requirements for the lockout of energy that could cause injury to personnel by the operation of lifts in need of repair or being serviced. All employees shall comply with this procedure.

Responsibility

The responsibility for assuring that this procedure is followed is binding upon all employees and service personnel from outside service companies (i.e., Authorized Rotary Installers, contactors, etc.). All employees shall be instructed in the safety significance of the lockout procedure by the facility owner/manager. Each new or transferred employee along with visiting outside service personnel shall be instructed by the owner/manager (or assigned designee) in the purpose and use of the lockout procedure.

Preparation

Employees authorized to perform lockout shall ensure that the appropriate energy isolating device (i.e., circuit breaker, fuse, disconnect, etc.) is identified for the lift being locked out. Other such devices for other equipment may be located in close proximity of the appropriate energy isolating device. If the identity of the device is in question, see the shop supervisor for resolution. Assure that proper authorization is received prior to performing the lockout procedure.

Sequence of Lockout Procedure

1) Notify all affected employees that a lockout is being performed and the reason for it.2) Unload the subject lift. Shut it down and assure the disconnect switch is “OFF” if one is provided on the lift.3) The authorized lockout person operates the main energy isolation device removing power to the subject lift.

• If this is a lockable device, the authorized lockout person places the assigned padlock on the device to prevent its unintentional reactivation. An appropriate tag is applied stating the person’s name, at least 3” x 6” in size, an easily noticeably color, and states not to operate device or remove tag.

• If this device is a non-lockable circuit breaker or fuse, replace with a “dummy” device and tag it appropriately as mentioned above.

4) Attempt to operate lift to assure the lockout is working. Be sure to return any switches to the “OFF” position.5) The equipment is now locked out and ready for the required maintenance or service.

Restoring Equipment to Service

1) Assure the work on the lift is complete and the area is clear of tools, vehicles, and personnel.2) At this point, the authorized person can remove the lock (or dummy circuit breaker or fuse) & tag and activate

the energy isolating device so that the lift may again be placed into operation.

Rules for Using Lockout Procedure

Use the Lockout Procedure whenever the lift is being repaired or serviced, waiting for repair when current operation could cause possible injury to personnel, or for any other situation when unintentional operation could injure personnel. No attempt shall be made to operate the lift when the energy isolating device is locked out.

LIFT LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDURE

Lift is not intended for outdoor use and has an operating ambient temperature range of 41º-104ºF (5º-40ºC).
